Obesity Etiquette: Is It Really Necessary?

Etiquette guru Mary Mitchell says that it’s not polite to tell someone they’re fat. No kidding. It’s also not polite to suggest ways for an obese person to lose weight, or to say, “You’d be so much prettier if you were thin.” But, in a recent column at Reuters, Mitchell says that when including an obese individual in your social plans, it’s important to take their needs into consideration.

Get Fit For 2010: One Reader’s Desire to Tone Up

Here are the goals FitSugar user BritsConfessions set for herself in the Get Fit For 2010 community challenge and contest . Hi, my name is Brittney and my New Year’s resolution for 2009 was to lose weight. I have successfully completed that resolution and have lost 100 pounds. For the 2010 New Year I have made the resolution to add weights to my workout and start toning. I go to the gym five days a week and I’ve added 30 minutes of weight training to the start of my workout. I finish that up with cardio. Another one of my goals is to complete a 5k. I’m not much of a runner so I downloaded the Couch to 5k iPhone app - I’m really excited to get started on that. Here is a picture of me at the start of 2009.                     To see how BritsConfessions looks these days, just read more. And here is me today: Thinking about your New Year’s resolutions?

Weight Loss Sabotage: Skipping Meals

You’re trying to lose weight and think that eating less will get you to your goal faster. While cutting calories definitely helps, you want to be careful not to eliminate entire meals, especially breakfast - just because you’re busy and short on time doesn’t make this a good idea. Skipping meals could be one of the worst ways to lose weight and here’s why. When you skip a meal (or two, or three), your body starts to wonder why it’s not getting any food and it will go into starvation mode. Then it reacts by slowing down your metabolism, which means slower weight loss - not exactly the results you were going for. Plus, not eating will also give you a headache, make you feel dizzy or sleepy, and make for one cranky, hungry person. Try not to go more than three or four hours between meals and snacks.
